capitalism... money, buying, selling...

Ah another day of buying and selling for all us American’s. Isn’t life fine... or is this all for the benefit of a few who have convinced all the rest that what we have is fine, that the shit that falls apart on cue so that we may replace it is all worth the effort.

We are living a nightmare, for even if it all lasted forever our insatiable desires for more, our perpetual dissatisfaction, the way we lose interest in the very things we killed ourselves to obtain would drive us to by more, to replace.....

This thing goes round and round, don’t believe it? Just wait until your new car looses it’s smell, till the paint no longer shines, till you mate gets fat, till the flat screen seems too small, just wait.. STOP!.............................................................

Michael Jackson... what really killed him

doers and the viewers...

My friends… Most of u have come to expect subjects of value coming your way from me… Well today Michael Jackson has found his way into our conversation. You might wonder “how has this occurred?” Well let me tell u… I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Yesterday in clinic we had a four hour seminar. These are intensives where we examine specific pathologies or sometimes examine and diagnose one another to test our skills. This time the professor sat before us and began the session asking this “strange” question “will everyone share their ideas about MJ, his drug abuse and death.” At first many of us thought she’s joking, but she was dead serious.

Well the talk got quite strong, beginning with a with a very bright student who is also a dancer, drummer, and artist, and then me; we both came at it from a psycho spiritual point of view and as I said it got interesting.

Instead of me offering all that to you, let me offer this fine 20min talk given by Elizabeth Gilbert, a successful writer who speaks about being gifted, what it means, where it might come from, what it gives and what it takes away..........

Entilted to be whole....

I will not buy something i dont believe in... nor should I be made to do so...

I just watched a commercial (political ad) concerning health care, it went like this “all Americans are entitled to healthcare coverage"...

Ok, I believe that’s true, but first if we are going to say “entitled” then the system must change, for capitalists don’t like that word, for they want everyone to "earn" what they get...

Next, if we are to become more socialistic, that's fine with me, but then what is offered must be better than what we have today, not worse, for I will not buy into a medical system that offers just one mode treatment, if diagnosed with some chronic or terminal disease I don’t want nor would I not accept burning, cutting, and poisoning as my mode of treatment. So things must change… if not they must permit an “opt out,” one that offers support for one personal preferences… one that allows human beings to use their minds and intuition to decide how to get and stay well…

Something to consider on the 4th of July

Is this our plan or thiers?

On this 4th of July let us spend a moment to consider what sort of country we want, then consider whether this is the country we have. If we find these two do not reconcile, do something. Living in a county is like living with a lover, passive participation on one side makes one member too powerful, the other too weak...

So get involved, not by joining a group, a party, but instead by living the life that reflects the government you desire. If u find u can’t live that life because of how things are, then you will know the government you have must change.

Take it from an x hippie revolutionary, it is time for a revolution, not one driven by guns and death, but one driven by conscience people who have decided this cannot be, and are willing to perhaps give up some of their toys to have an America worth living in.

This is a bit harder for those who have become convinced all is well for they have gained some financial "success." They drive their expensive cars, live in their big homes and really don’t have to think about much other than keeping up the lifestyle. (a curse all its own)
Know that this life and other less extravagant ones are all part of the game. What is today considered “success” is a finely crafted model, one crafted by huge corporations and their marketing companies.

They have said...

“we’ll set up this life that will be just beyond the reach of most; this will keep them striving, grasping for it. It will have different levels; each level will allow these rats in a maze to, for a while, fell like the big fish on the block, therefore having a moment of satisfaction.

Of course this will be fleeting, causing them to want to jettison their life and move on to the next; the next car, next house, next partner, next… this will be their life, wanting, getting, finding dissatisfaction, wanting more, finding, getting, more dissatisfaction. This will keep them ever buying and tossing away what they have bought, they will be an ever consuming people, a marketer’s/manufactures dream”

This is my view… Happy 4th of July… smiles…

balls, knives, fists and guns

Why do we reward people for playing with balls?

Golf, basketball, baseball, football, tennis… What are we telling the universe with such a message, is it that we appreciate the primal more than the evolved human being? What are we telling our children?

Are we so removed from who we are that we must live this primal battlefield activity displayed in modern terms in order to feel strong and alive?

I also see this violent propensity in many who call themselves evolved, enlightened, realized. Using the rationale of “protector” for this mindset; fighting, martial arts, playing with all sort of weapons.

Are human beings moving in this direction or is the evolving being moving away from such? Is it not true that where we place our intention and attention, these are the things that grow, manifest?

Wake up my armored friends. Violence will not create peace no matter how high you stack the bodies…

OM MANI PADME HUNG!

When is enough?

In response to a note I just read on a friends page stating "never forgive, never forget" concerning 9-11... I wrote

This is exactly why nothing ever changes. We don’t forgive or forget, and they don’t either… So this shit just goes round and round, nothing changes, and we continue to kill and kill and kill. Good for the weapons manufactures, but very bad for human beings... When is enough enough?

I speak these words out into space, not to one side or the other… but as I prayer of sorts, making wishes for a better world.

Someone has to say enough!!!! Say it to the humans being, say something to the universe...
